In consideration of this, and after consultation with Faculty Librarians it is our recommendation that the Library primarily focus upon the University’s strategic direction and realign its teaching and learning programme to;• operate in a collaborative and consultative environment,• be equitable,• systemic,• and sustainable(Dewey 2004, Johnson 2004, Lindstrom 2006, Peacock 2006).
